NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND REC�RDS .ADMI�ISTRATION NA FORM 1429 (6-85) THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON May 15, 1980 MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT � FROM: JACK WATSO SUBJECT: Yesterday, 5,601 persons seeking asylum from Cuba arrived in Key West; it was largest single-day's total to date. 3 deaths, from carbon monoxide poisoning, were reported among the arrivals. All 3 occurred on one overloaded boat. 10 people have now died in the exodus over the last three weeks. As of 6:00 p.m. today, 2,618 persons had arrived, bringing the cumulative total to about 46,000. The Coast Guard reports that there are 32 vessels northbound carrying approxi­ mately 1,250 persons. Only 8 southbound vessels have been sighted today. Although it is too early to reach any firm conclusions about the effects of your announcement yesterday, this southbound figure is considerably less than the average daily southbound flow in the past week, which was 76. The FBI reported this morning that there are still about 1400 vessels in Marie! Harbor and approximately 10,000 people awaiting transportation to the United States. Gene Eidenberg, who is in Miami, reported to me late this afternoon that there is a "continuing and steady" improvement in the reaction of the Cuban/American community to yesterday's announcement. Gene will stay in Miami tonight and tomorrow morning and then go to Tallahassee to meet with Governor Graham tomorrow afternoon. Since yesterday's announcements: The Family Registration Office opened in Miami today. Several thousand people came to register their family members still in Cuba. (Estimates of the number of people range from 8 - 10 thousand.) We are placing simple forms to be filled out with relevant information in local newspapers and Cuban shopping areas to alleviate the crush at the Registry Offices. The forms (in both English and Spanish) are to be mailed to a P. 0. Box in Miami. E�sctrost<111tBc Ccpy M�de fc!l' Pre!Sti<1W'Wxti�Jiri m·p�:.Mils �: �: .

Gene, in Florida, and I, from Washington, have been going an extensive amount of press briefing (print, radio and television) explain�ng your decisions of yesterday and how they are being executed. As you know, the public information aspect of this whole effort is crucial. I have asked Benjamin Civiletti to assume r,esponsibility for coordinating the overall law enforcement effort, including not on�y Justice Department agencies, but Customs and Coast Guard as well. I've asked Ben to hold conference calls early each morning and late each afternoon with the appropriate headquarters .and operations personnel to ensure the necessary levels of information-exchange and coordination of effort. Ben is reporting the results of those calls to me each morning and afternoon. There have been exten­ sive briefings of the operational peopl:e:!.in the field regarding your instructions, and all reports so far indicate proper executi6n. Rese.tt·lernent is moving slowly.

In the past, funds not used could be retained by you and were counted as taxable income. Under the new system none of the $50,000 is taxable as income and the unspent balance is returned to the Treasury at the end of the fiscal·year. GAO and Treasury have continued to disburse the $50,000 in monthly installments. Absent direct instructions to the contrary, they assumed that the only difference between this year and prior years is in the treatment of the remainder. Jim Mcintyre has recommended that the monthly disbursements procedure be stopped and that funds be held by Treasury until charges are incurred. We agree. In consideration of this, we recommend administering this account as follows: 1) Maintain the expense account at Treasury and administer it as all other accounts are administered. 2) Discontinue automatic monthly disbursements of the expense allowance and return all funds disbursed to date to the Treasury. 3) Delegate to Hugh Carter authority to approve charges to this account in accordance with Counsel's guidelines. ___ Approved Disapproved ---- Elactrostatle Copy Msldl" fm Pf®S®�Jat�orn fPlur�©�es TilE \\'IIITE IIOllSE I ! \\'1\ SI I I N C; T 0 N Date: 14 May 1980 MEf\10RANlJllM FOR ACTION: FOR INFORMATION: The First Lady FROM: Rick Hutches-on, Staff Secretary _ SUBJECT: Memo from Lloyd Cutler and Hugh Carter RE: Official Expense Allowance .. :.

  • After the Accords Anwar Sadat
    WMHSMUN XXXIV After the Accords: Anwar Sadat’s Cabinet Background Guide “Unprecedented committees. Unparalleled debate. Unmatched fun.” Letters From the Directors Dear Delegates, Welcome to WMHSMUN XXXIV! My name is Hank Hermens and I am excited to be the in-room Director for Anwar Sadat’s Cabinet. I’m a junior at the College double majoring in International Relations and History. I have done model UN since my sophomore year of high school, and since then I have become increasingly involved. I compete as part of W&M’s travel team, staff our conferences, and have served as the Director of Media for our college level conference, &MUN. Right now, I’m a member of our Conference Team, planning travel and training delegates. Outside of MUN, I play trumpet in the Wind Ensemble, do research with AidData and for a professor, looking at the influence of Islamic institutions on electoral outcomes in Tunisia. In my admittedly limited free time, I enjoy reading, running, and hanging out with my friends around campus. As members of Anwar Sadat’s cabinet, you’ll have to deal with the fallout of Egypt’s recent peace with Israel, in Egypt, the greater Middle East and North Africa, and the world. You’ll also meet economic challenges, rising national political tensions, and more. Some of the problems you come up against will be easily solved, with only short-term solutions necessary. Others will require complex, long term solutions, or risk the possibility of further crises arising. No matter what, we will favor creative, outside-the-box ideas as well as collaboration and diplomacy.

  • Lessons from the Use of Ranked Choice Voting in American Presidential Primaries
    Politics and Governance (ISSN: 2183–2463) 2021, Volume 9, Issue 2, Pages 354–364 DOI: 10.17645/pag.v9i2.3960 Article Lessons from the Use of Ranked Choice Voting in American Presidential Primaries Rob Richie *, Benjamin Oestericher, Deb Otis and Jeremy Seitz‐Brown FairVote, Takoma Park, MD 20912, USA; E‐Mails: [email protected] (R.R.), [email protected] (B.O.), [email protected] (D.O.), jseitz‐[email protected] (J.S.‐B.) * Corresponding author Submitted: 22 December 2020 | Accepted: 6 April 2021 | Published: 15 June 2021 Abstract Grounded in experience in 2020, both major political parties have reasons to expand use of ranked choice voting (RCV) in their 2024 presidential primaries. RCV may offer a ‘win‐win’ solution benefiting both the parties and their voters. RCV would build on both the pre‐1968 American tradition of parties determining a coalitional presidential nominee through multiple ballots at party conventions and the modern practice of allowing voters to effectively choose their nominees in primaries. Increasingly used by parties around the world in picking their leaders, RCV may allow voters to crowd‐source a coalitional nominee. Most published research about RCV focuses on state and local elections. In contrast, this article analyzes the impact on voters, candidates, and parties from five state Democratic parties using RCV in party‐run presiden‐ tial nomination contests in 2020. First, it uses polls and results to examine how more widespread use of RCV might have affected the trajectory of contests for the 2016 Republican nomination. Second, it contrasts how more than three million voters in the 2020 Democratic presidential primaries backed withdrawn candidates with the low rate of such wasted votes for withdrawn candidates in the states with RCV ballots.

  • Beauty and Plunder in Wyoming by Christopher D
    Beauty and Plunder in Wyoming By Christopher D. Cook ach night, during four viciously cold, wind-throttled months in Cheyenne, Wyoming, this past winter, I gazed out my window at a hideous beauty: a hissing tongue of oil fire erupting from a refinery, flaring like a devil’s flame, licking eastern Wyoming’s towering high plains sky. Above the gaseous bursts, the night subsumed ev- erything beneath it with an all-consuming hugeness, pockmarked by Ecold-shined moon and stars. ZAK PULLEN Christopher D.
